adidas Originals by BAPE®

adidas Originals by BAPE®

Building on an iconic and enduring relationship between the two labels, streetwear stalwart BAPE´® collaborated with adidas Originals to release a comprehensive footwear & apparel pack that pays tribute to both brands' greatest hits. The iconic Tokyo imprint, founded in 1993, has long been a master of offering an urban approach to adidas' classic sportswear, bringing its unique elements of hype with each and every release - and the FW16 offering is no different.

Featuring two iterations of adidas' legendary Firebird tracksuit, a down jacket equipped with the Japanese brand's full-zip detailing, and two exclusive colorways of adidas Originals' ultra successful and sough after hybrid NMD sneaker, the collection blends the design motifs and iconography of both brands effortlessly across a keenly curated selection of apparel and footwear. Perhaps the two most iconic motifs of modern streetwear, BAPE®'s iconic camouflage and adidas' 3-stripes mark sit alongside each other across the collection, instilling an instantly classic aesthetic of streetwear royalty and technical contemporary sportswear.

In the Firebird tracksuit, adidas' rich athletic history is elevated and modernized with BAPE camo in green and tonal black colorways, whilst the ID96 down jacket comes adorned with military-inspired patchwork details and a contemporary oversized streetwear fit. Completing the collection, two camouflage iterations adidas Originals' coveted NMD silhouette cement the deeply progressive identity of both brands in 2016, capturing the essence of hype and fervor that underpins every legendary streetwear release.

Ultra-modern sporting technology, iconic design cues and two brands with an affinity for style and forward-thinking design combine to create an iconic collaborative release in FW16; one that is evocative of both BAPE® dominance in streetwear culture, and the astute combination of archive and innovation that encapsulates the philosophy of adidas Originals.

adidas Originals by BAPE® will be on sale globally on November 26th at your local BAPE STORE®, adidas Original flagship stores, online and in selected retailers.
